A little disappointing and expensive.
Pros:

Staff were nice.

Cons:

Very average for price , small room , small bed , horrid view and also the area itself feels very tired if I’m honest a bit rough and not at all cosmopolitan.
I wish I’d stayed in Brighton itself and not the marina.

Everything exceeded my expectations. The room was spotless, the facilities were great, and the overall atmosphere made for a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

I would highly recommend this hotel and would be delighted to stay here again in the future. Thank you for a fantastic experience.
